4. Purposes and Lawfulness of the Data Processing

Ubooker collects, processes, and uses your personal data to the extent required to fulfill the respective purposes.

The purposes for processing your contact data, comment data and job application data are: Providing services that you make use of using the Ubooker websites. These are amongst others: downloads, discussion boards, job applications, individual requests (e.g. using a contact form), blogs, and the registration for courses or other offerings of Ubooker. The lawfulness for the data processing is the performance of a contract or steps prior to entering into a contract. Using this personal data is required to provide the contractual obligations. Without this personal data you would not be able to receive the services offered by Ubooker.

In so far that you have given the consent, Ubooker will also use your personal data for marketing purposes, e.g. to send newsletters. The lawfulness for processing this data is our legitimate interest, e.g. to improve our services, or your consent.

In so far that you have given the consent, we will also use your browser data for market research and the improvement of our websites and services, and to improve your user experience. The lawfulness for processing this data is your consent or our legitimate interest.

We will also use your usage data for internal system-specific purposes to secure the websites and IT systems from malicious attacks by third parties.

Taking into account the security and organizational measures of the processing of the usage data by Ubooker, we consider your rights and interests appropriately taken into account and protected.

Beyond these purposes, we use and process your data only if you have expressly granted your prior consent thereto and if you have been informed about such purposes.
